re: Roy King is suing LSU

what grounds could he have?

Dudes and Dudettes -
Read Roy King's legal petition. Roy King's Suit Against LSU

One of the reasons he was fired is related to 'improper' stipends/scholarships for TGBFTL members (which includes Golden Girls and Color Guard). It looks like he has all listed LSU personnel hog-tied on that one alone (sections 5-8).

Not to mention nepotism -though that charge is somewhat nebulous (section 9 and section 29).

The $50K donation allegations can easily be corraborated by the donor, if they are willing to testify (sections 10-16).

Further, there is a little bombshell regarding a "wealthy former Golden Girl" and a proposed $500K donation intended for Golden Girl scholarships that was allegedly thwarted by the School of Music that is quite intriguing and,again, can be substantiated by the donor (sections 17-20).

Roy King's summary statement buttressed by claims in preceding sections (section 28).

Then the suit doubles way down and presents arguments regarding denial of Roy King's right to due process under LSU policies, illegal reprisal under Louisiana statutes, violation of First Amendment rights, and a demand for trial by jury(sections 41 through 63).


Man, if even half of this stuff is accurate, LSU really went out of it's way to screw this guy and will pay through the fricking nose - and probably a hell of a lot more than they were trying to squeeze out of TGBFTL to begin with...
